Relaxing - Great place to go for a walk and unwind!
All parks benefit the community. This one has trails for year-round use. During the spring and summer the trails pass through a densely forested landscape. These areas are clean and well-maintained with trail maps and markers throughout. Rain, run-off, and floodplain issues make some parts of the western (orange) trail extremely muddy. Occasional use of the trail by horses, so watch where you step.
Amazing place to hike and explore, connects with other parks/protected areas for a different hike each visit
This park has perfect trails to start introducing your kids to hiking. They have well defined paths, but are quite natural in most spots (meaning kids have to pay attention to tree roots and the such). Plenty of path connections that make it easy to cut a hike short if need be. This is a nice quite park with foot bridges, railroad tracks, a winding river, and lots of native plants to look at.
Nice walk
Had a blast
Great for kids
Great park. Has a pavilion and a few picnic tables, great shade, and about 3 miles of hiking trails. It connects to Red Cedar Preserve (West side) and Harris Nature Center and Eastgate Park (East side) for a combined through hike of about 8 miles. Much of the trails follow the Red Cedar river and there are a few benches along the trails. Does get wet in the wet seasons.
A park that I have to come back to. Nice trails that arent too difficult but still provides a good length walk.
Nice trails. Lotsa mosquitoes.
Although this year the trails have been neglected - with several fallen trees and meadows grown chest high over trails - its been great for hiking because there arent bikers or horses. The trails are like an obstacle course which has been fun. Recommend wearing pants and bring your bug spray.
Best place to go running in the town
This is my favorite part of the riverfront parks (Legg, Harris, and Eastgate) to get out and explore on the trails. There is a well marked trail that runs from Legg through Harris and into Eastgate, if youre looking for a longer walk or, especially in the dryer seasons, you can get down near the dried up riverbed and explore in some of the less-well marked trails. Be careful on the lower trails though - when the water dries up, it can be hard to find the path and the former riverbed can be as bad as quicksand, trapping you up to your knees after a few minutes of trying to wriggle free.
Great for a short walk. During wet times mosquito-ridden. Yet, home of one of the rare walk-to ingress portals.
Nice park with some really beautiful views
Gross.
Early season bicycling river trail.
